MEET REMY!
This beautiful little guy is named Remy! Remy is around 8-9 years old and came to the rescue after a rough start. He was found as a stray in the dead of winter in Philadelphia and brought to the shelter. He was very underweight with painful teeth, an eye infection, an upper respiratory infection and no interest in eating. Still, he never stopped purring through it all.
Six months of vet care later, including having ALL of his teeth removed, Remy is a whole new cat! Bright-eyed, healthy coat, filling in, and finally food-motivated! Remy is now strong enough to do every day cat things like grooming himself, chasing string toys, and watching birds from the window (nap schedule permitting). He’s absolutely making up for lost time! Now that Remy has fully recovered from his stint of homelessness, he’s ready to level up to ‘family member’.
As his health improved, Remy’s personality really shone. He's a professional napper who progresses from couch to laps to necks to full-on "scarf mode” if you lay down! When he’s feeling especially festive, he'll roll over for belly rubs. He purrs constantly, so close enough to your ear, you can skip the white noise machine at night. He has a few quirks like not loving to be brushed in some spots though it’s important to maintain his now lush coat. He has the occasional kitty-zoomy but is otherwise a calm, cuddly presence who'd rather be doted on than doing literally anything else. Remy doesn’t meow, most likely because he can’t. He just does a soft whine when he's unhappy, which fits perfectly with this overall wonky charm. Remy isn’t big on other animals or chaotic energy, though gentler, older kids should be fine. What he really wants is a quiet home where he can be a little black puddle on the couch, interrupted only for pets or lap time. Looking for an easy and beautiful little shadow? Remy’s your man!
